ORONO - Field goal kicking is the most scrutinized position in football. You get a pat on the back if you make one, but if you miss one, all eyes are on you. The latter is what it has been like for Maine football kicker Kenny Doak during the infancy of his career.

I just received an e-mail from UConn, still on their mailing list when we played them, and they just announced moving games with ECU and USF because of Irma.

So let's say we take a buyout and lose the playing of the game. That gives us a 10 game schedule unless we can schedule anything on 9/30 which I would think would be highly doubtful this late in the season.

Knowing that we would have been an underdog in that game and good chance of a loss, how much does that game affect us in the likelihood of a playoff spot?Does 6-4 mean a no go and a 7-3 a go???

If they cancel the game at UCF how about all of us that bought airline tickets, reserved cars and hotels. I am sure we wouldn't get any buyout and then fight with the airline to get our money back. Buying out this game would have a negative impact to UMaine Football with consideration of playoffs. UMaine needs to show that they can play against these FBS teams!!
